Maybe Windows says <strong data-start=\"179\" data-end=\"196\">\u201cNo Internet\u201d<\/strong> even though you're connected. Or perhaps every other device in the house works perfectly while your laptop won't get online.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"323\" data-end=\"557\">A <strong data-start=\"325\" data-end=\"363\">laptop that won't connect to Wi-Fi<\/strong> doesn't necessarily mean the wireless card has failed. The problem could be your router, Windows settings, a driver issue, saved network information, malware, or the laptop's wireless hardware.\u00a0Before assuming you need a repair, try these troubleshooting steps.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"1i0w9o0\" data-start=\"628\" data-end=\"673\">1. Check Whether Other Devices Can Connect<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"675\" data-end=\"773\">Before changing anything on your laptop, figure out whether the problem is actually your computer.\u00a0Try connecting another device to the same Wi-Fi network:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"833\" data-end=\"882\">\n<li data-section-id=\"pt9jrh\" data-start=\"833\" data-end=\"845\">Smartphone<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"5s09k2\" data-start=\"846\" data-end=\"854\">Tablet<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1vrei5x\" data-start=\"855\" data-end=\"871\">Another laptop<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1r5w3yr\" data-start=\"872\" data-end=\"882\">Smart TV<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"884\" data-end=\"982\">If <strong data-start=\"887\" data-end=\"910\">nothing can connect<\/strong>, the problem is probably with your router, modem, or internet provider.\u00a0If every other device works but your laptop doesn't, concentrate your troubleshooting on the laptop.\u00a0This simple test can save a lot of time.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"1sd8vzm\" data-start=\"1128\" data-end=\"1161\">2. Make Sure Wi-Fi Is Turned On<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1163\" data-end=\"1202\">It sounds obvious, but check it anyway.\u00a0In Windows 11, click the <strong data-start=\"1229\" data-end=\"1265\">network, sound, and battery area<\/strong> on the taskbar and make sure Wi-Fi is enabled.\u00a0Also check that <strong data-start=\"1330\" data-end=\"1361\">Airplane mode is turned off<\/strong>.\u00a0Some laptops also have a physical wireless switch or keyboard function key that can disable Wi-Fi.\u00a0It's surprisingly easy to turn wireless off accidentally.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"dpkvib\" data-start=\"1523\" data-end=\"1546\">3. Restart the Laptop<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1548\" data-end=\"1560\">Yes, really.\u00a0If you haven't restarted recently, do it before digging deeper.\u00a0Choose:\u00a0<strong data-start=\"1636\" data-end=\"1663\">Start \u2192 Power \u2192 Restart<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1665\" data-end=\"1781\">Don't just close the lid and reopen it. That normally puts the laptop to sleep rather than fully restarting Windows.\u00a0A restart reloads Windows services and your wireless driver and can resolve temporary networking problems.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"3m1nhw\" data-start=\"1891\" data-end=\"1925\">4. Restart Your Router and Modem<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1927\" data-end=\"2015\">If multiple devices are having trouble, your network equipment may need to be restarted.\u00a0Depending on your setup, you may have:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"2057\" data-end=\"2137\">\n<li data-section-id=\"7qn55z\" data-start=\"2057\" data-end=\"2066\">A modem<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"sdjj8n\" data-start=\"2067\" data-end=\"2086\">A separate router<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"kkh38a\" data-start=\"2087\" data-end=\"2115\">A combination modem\/router<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"2kcwqr\" data-start=\"2116\" data-end=\"2137\">A mesh Wi-Fi system<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"2139\" data-end=\"2227\">Follow your internet provider or equipment manufacturer's recommended restart procedure.\u00a0After the equipment comes completely back online, try connecting the laptop again.\u00a0Don't repeatedly factory-reset your router. That's very different from simply restarting it and can erase your network configuration.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"du2rex\" data-start=\"2448\" data-end=\"2491\">5. Forget the Wi-Fi Network and Reconnect<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2493\" data-end=\"2560\">Windows stores information about networks you've previously joined.\u00a0Occasionally that saved configuration can cause connection problems.\u00a0Go to:\u00a0<strong data-start=\"2640\" data-end=\"2705\">Settings \u2192 Network &amp; internet \u2192 Wi-Fi \u2192 Manage known networks.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2493\" data-end=\"2560\">Find your network and choose:\u00a0<strong data-start=\"2738\" data-end=\"2748\">Forget\u00a0<\/strong>Then reconnect to the Wi-Fi network and enter the password again.<\/p>\n<p data-section-id=\"umxzxz\" data-start=\"2817\" data-end=\"2858\"><strong>Make Sure You Know the Password First!\u00a0<\/strong>Once you forget the network, Windows will need the Wi-Fi password to reconnect.\u00a0If you don't know it, find the password before removing the saved network.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"1emkl16\" data-start=\"3017\" data-end=\"3053\">6. Double-Check the Wi-Fi Password<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"3055\" data-end=\"3147\">If Windows says it can't connect to a network you've never used before, verify the password.\u00a0Wi-Fi passwords are case-sensitive.\u00a0Watch for characters that are easy to confuse, such as:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"3243\" data-end=\"3300\">\n<li data-section-id=\"101ylj0\" data-start=\"3243\" data-end=\"3252\">O and 0<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"14m9hh3\" data-start=\"3253\" data-end=\"3266\">I, l, and 1<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1f93ay7\" data-start=\"3267\" data-end=\"3300\">Uppercase and lowercase letters<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"3302\" data-end=\"3420\">If the router's Wi-Fi password was recently changed, your laptop may still be trying to use the old saved credentials.\u00a0Forgetting the network and reconnecting can solve that.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"zuakub\" data-start=\"3479\" data-end=\"3509\">7. Move Closer to the Router<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"3511\" data-end=\"3541\">Wi-Fi signal strength matters.\u00a0If the laptop connects near the router but struggles from another room, you may be dealing with a coverage problem rather than a laptop problem.\u00a0Wi-Fi signals can be affected by:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"3724\" data-end=\"3825\">\n<li data-section-id=\"1448vcb\" data-start=\"3724\" data-end=\"3734\">Distance<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"17bf4p9\" data-start=\"3735\" data-end=\"3742\">Walls<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1y1pvvn\" data-start=\"3743\" data-end=\"3751\">Floors<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1tx17pn\" data-start=\"3752\" data-end=\"3770\">Large appliances<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"q552me\" data-start=\"3771\" data-end=\"3791\">Building materials<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"2onk28\" data-start=\"3792\" data-end=\"3806\">Interference<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"m60gqy\" data-start=\"3807\" data-end=\"3825\">Router placement<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"3827\" data-end=\"3943\">If your connection regularly drops in certain areas of your home or business, your network may need better coverage.\u00a0A properly configured mesh system or additional access points may be a better solution than repeatedly troubleshooting the computer.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"bmst9c\" data-start=\"4079\" data-end=\"4119\">8. Run Windows Network Troubleshooting<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"4121\" data-end=\"4219\">Windows 11 includes automated network troubleshooting through its settings and <strong data-start=\"4200\" data-end=\"4212\">Get Help<\/strong> tools.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4121\" data-end=\"4219\">Search Windows for: <strong data-start=\"4242\" data-end=\"4254\">Get Help\u00a0<\/strong>and search for Wi-Fi or network troubleshooting.\u00a0You can also look under:\u00a0<strong data-start=\"4332\" data-end=\"4368\">Settings \u2192 System \u2192 Troubleshoot.\u00a0<\/strong>The exact options can change as Microsoft updates Windows 11.\u00a0Automated troubleshooting may identify problems with the network adapter, configuration, or connection.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"ukiqat\" data-start=\"4538\" data-end=\"4566\">9. Check the Wi-Fi Adapter<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"4568\" data-end=\"4652\">Windows communicates with your laptop's wireless hardware through a network adapter.\u00a0Open <strong data-start=\"4659\" data-end=\"4677\">Device Manager<\/strong> and expand:\u00a0<strong data-start=\"4691\" data-end=\"4711\">Network adapters; <\/strong>Look for your wireless adapter.\u00a0Warning signs can include:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"4774\" data-end=\"4909\">\n<li data-section-id=\"1dqrkgw\" data-start=\"4774\" data-end=\"4797\">Yellow warning symbol<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"ne8zxr\" data-start=\"4798\" data-end=\"4824\">Adapter missing entirely<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"gbm5th\" data-start=\"4825\" data-end=\"4858\">Adapter repeatedly disappearing<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"xwd8hw\" data-start=\"4859\" data-end=\"4884\">Device showing an error<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1t0hzc\" data-start=\"4885\" data-end=\"4909\">Adapter being disabled<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"4911\" data-end=\"5008\">If Windows can't properly communicate with the Wi-Fi hardware, the laptop won't connect reliably.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"1gihe0k\" data-start=\"5010\" data-end=\"5038\">10. Check the Wi-Fi Driver<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"5040\" data-end=\"5092\">A damaged or incompatible wireless driver can cause:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"5094\" data-end=\"5268\">\n<li data-section-id=\"zl5hi5\" data-start=\"5094\" data-end=\"5114\">Wi-Fi disappearing<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1wjconb\" data-start=\"5115\" data-end=\"5139\">Networks not appearing<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1cq1jls\" data-start=\"5140\" data-end=\"5160\">Random disconnects<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"2xb3ls\" data-start=\"5161\" data-end=\"5201\">\u201cCan't connect to this network\u201d errors<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1ghs9vb\" data-start=\"5202\" data-end=\"5229\">Slow wireless performance<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"pzgwgt\" data-start=\"5230\" data-end=\"5268\">Wi-Fi failing after a Windows update<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"5270\" data-end=\"5395\">Drivers may sometimes be updated through <strong data-start=\"5311\" data-end=\"5329\">Windows Update<\/strong> or through your laptop manufacturer's official support resources.\u00a0Avoid random websites and \"driver updater\" utilities that claim your computer has dozens of outdated drivers.\u00a0Use trusted sources.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"26wjnk\" data-start=\"5530\" data-end=\"5556\">11. Check Windows Update<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"5558\" data-end=\"5653\">If your Wi-Fi problem is caused by a Windows bug or driver issue, an available update may help.\u00a0Go to:\u00a0<strong data-start=\"5663\" data-end=\"5692\">Settings \u2192 Windows Update; <\/strong>Check for updates and restart when required.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5740\" data-end=\"5774\">There's another side to this, too.\u00a0If your Wi-Fi stopped working <strong data-start=\"5806\" data-end=\"5837\">immediately after an update<\/strong>, that timing is worth noting. A driver or software conflict may need additional troubleshooting.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"165qwzh\" data-start=\"5936\" data-end=\"5967\">12. Try Another Wi-Fi Network<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"5969\" data-end=\"6010\">This is one of the best diagnostic tests.\u00a0Try connecting the laptop to another network.\u00a0For example, you could temporarily test it using a trusted mobile hotspot.<\/p>\n<p data-section-id=\"1wxf9oj\" data-start=\"6135\" data-end=\"6172\"><strong>If the laptop connects elsewhere:\u00a0<\/strong>The laptop's Wi-Fi hardware is probably functioning, and the problem may involve your home or business network configuration.<\/p>\n<p data-section-id=\"yr5j0c\" data-start=\"6301\" data-end=\"6342\"><strong>If the laptop won't connect anywhere:\u00a0<\/strong>The problem is more likely related to Windows, the wireless driver, network settings, or the Wi-Fi hardware itself.\u00a0That distinction can dramatically narrow down the problem.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"1k94m29\" data-start=\"6521\" data-end=\"6577\">13. What If Wi-Fi Completely Disappeared From Windows?<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"6579\" data-end=\"6637\">Sometimes the problem isn't that the laptop won't connect.\u00a0<strong data-start=\"6639\" data-end=\"6675\">The Wi-Fi option itself is gone.\u00a0<\/strong>You may open Windows and find that there's no Wi-Fi button at all.\u00a0Possible causes include:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"6771\" data-end=\"6916\">\n<li data-section-id=\"m2mbw1\" data-start=\"6771\" data-end=\"6797\">Disabled network adapter<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"12xmkja\" data-start=\"6798\" data-end=\"6814\">Driver failure<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"o2hqu4\" data-start=\"6815\" data-end=\"6832\">Windows problem<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"crm5iu\" data-start=\"6833\" data-end=\"6860\">Wireless hardware failure<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1mdvicf\" data-start=\"6861\" data-end=\"6886\">BIOS\/UEFI configuration<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1p8va36\" data-start=\"6887\" data-end=\"6916\">Internal connection problem<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"6918\" data-end=\"7001\">Check <strong data-start=\"6924\" data-end=\"6942\">Device Manager<\/strong> to see whether Windows still detects the wireless adapter.\u00a0If the adapter isn't detected at all, additional diagnosis may be necessary.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"17qzu96\" data-start=\"7081\" data-end=\"7127\">14. What Does \u201cConnected, No Internet\u201d Mean?<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"7129\" data-end=\"7241\">This message is confusing because your laptop technically <strong data-start=\"7187\" data-end=\"7203\">is connected<\/strong>\u2014just not necessarily to the internet.\u00a0Think of Wi-Fi and internet access as two different things.\u00a0Your laptop can successfully connect to the router while the router itself doesn't have a working internet connection.\u00a0Possible causes include:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"7450\" data-end=\"7584\">\n<li data-section-id=\"1q95aan\" data-start=\"7450\" data-end=\"7476\">Internet provider outage<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"rgolfx\" data-start=\"7477\" data-end=\"7492\">Modem problem<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"dj5ch4\" data-start=\"7493\" data-end=\"7509\">Router problem<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"134vpig\" data-start=\"7510\" data-end=\"7521\">DNS issue<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1dfcxky\" data-start=\"7522\" data-end=\"7550\">Windows networking problem<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"7wc5jz\" data-start=\"7551\" data-end=\"7584\">Incorrect network configuration<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"7586\" data-end=\"7674\">Check whether other devices connected to the same Wi-Fi network can access the internet.\u00a0If nothing has internet access, your laptop probably isn't the problem.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"1ot28d\" data-start=\"7749\" data-end=\"7779\">15. Consider a Network Reset<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"7781\" data-end=\"7847\">Windows includes an option to reset certain networking components.\u00a0This can help with some stubborn configuration problems, but it isn't something I'd use as the first troubleshooting step.\u00a0A network reset can remove and reinstall network adapters and reset networking settings.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"8063\" data-end=\"8187\">Depending on your configuration, you may need to reconnect to networks or reconfigure certain networking software afterward.\u00a0Make sure you understand what will be affected before proceeding.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"mgcfbl\" data-start=\"8256\" data-end=\"8307\">Why Does My Laptop Keep Disconnecting From Wi-Fi?<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"8309\"
